Yoga

There will be regular group complimentary classes, these are accessible to all levels and provide a really great introduction to the practice of yoga. If you are new to yoga and overwhelmed by the group setting we can work in a 121 environment where I can really help break things down, explaining why we do what we do and assisting so you understand your body and the postures ‘asanas’ we will work through. As a regular practitioner of yoga you may be looking for a challenge or a opportunity to work closely on certain aspects of your practice – we can discuss what you would like to take away from your time at Anantara and put together a package of classes that will take you towards that goal.
